Ireland to welcome first Poitín bar
20th September, 2017 by Amy Hopkins
Ireland's first dedicated Poitín bar will open in Dublin next month in celebration of 20 years since the decriminalisation of the white spirit.
16-61 has been opened in collaboration with Bán Poitín, produced by The Echlinville Distillery
Launched in collaboration with the Bán Poitín brand, the bar is named 16-61 after the year Poitín distillation was banned.
The bar will host a six-week residency from 19 October to 26 November at a secret Dublin location, which will be revealed next month.
"Poitín has been on the rise for over five years now, we can't believe nobody has done anything in Ireland like this before," said Dave Mulligan, founder of Bán Poitín. "We have seen specialist gin bars popping up all over London and the UK, it makes sense to support a revival of your national spirit, this is what Bán has been about from the get go."
Bán Poitín will curate a list of Poitín-based cocktails, while 16-61 will also feature other Ireland-made spirits beers and local food. Weekly masterclasses will also take place, and guest bartenders from Ireland and abroad will tend the bar.
"This is going to be the biggest celebration of Poitín since it's heyday of the early 1800s," adds Mulligan.


The noun βασιλευς (basileus; hence the English word basilica) means king, but note that until the rise of the republics (around the time of the second temple), every town of a few hundred people or more was its own kingdom.
Our word is of unclear origin but it was possibly imported from an Anatolian language — the Lydian word for king was battos. It might also have been formed from, or with the assistance of, the noun στοα (stoa), meaning pillar, perhaps because kings lived in palaces with pillars, but more so because in the era of the republic, our word βασιλευς (basileus) applied not only to whatever monarchs remained but rather to any chiefs, lords, masters and otherwise venerable persons or men of greatness or distinction: the "pillars" of society.
Note that our familiar English word "boss" has no clear etymology, other than that it probably came from the Dutch equivalent baas. The Dutch in turn, as everybody knows, have always been great at appropriating and truncating words from other languages, and may very well have drawn their noun baas from the Greek noun βασιλευς (basileus). In our day and age, we have few "kings" and many "bosses," so the latter translation is probably preferred.
In the New Testament our noun is used of David (Matthew 1:6), other Jewish kings (Luke 10:24), Herod (Matthew 2:1), Aretas, an Arabian king (2 Corinthians 11:32), and the Roman Caesar (John 19:15).
Very often this word is applied to Jesus, the king of the Jews (Matthew 2:2, Luke 19:38, John 1:49). Note that the word Christ means "anointed one" and was a synonym for the Jewish king. Christ's royalty is unique in the sense that it didn't make him the sole ruler of the world later Rome writers made him out to be, but rather because in his kingdom, everybody is sovereign and autonomous (Revelation 5:10).
This noun is used 117 times in the New Testament; see full concordance.
The important noun βασιλεια (basileia), meaning kingdom or dominion. Besides describing the dominion of earthly rulers or bosses (Luke 19:12, Revelation 17:12), this word occurs frequently in the term "kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 3:2, 4:17, 5:3, etcetera) or "kingdom of God" (Mark 1:5, Luke 4:43, John 3:3, etcetera). Again we note that this latter kingdom is one without a traditional governmental structure (1 Corinthians 15:24). This noun βασιλεια (basileia) is used 163 times; see full concordance.
The adjective βασιλειος (basileios), meaning royal (Luke 7:25 and 1 Peter 2:9 only).
Together with the preposition συν (sun), meaning together or with: the important verb συμβασιλευω (sumbasileuo), meaning to co-reign. This verb occurs more than a dozen times, always denoting the joint regency of the saved with Christ (1 Corinthians 4:8 and 2 Timothy 2:12 only).
The adjective βασιλικος (basilikos), meaning kingly (James 2:8), belonging to a king (Acts 12:20), or in the service of a king (John 4:46). This word occurs 5 times; see full concordance.
The noun βασιλισσα (basilissa), meaning queen or female boss. This word occurs 4 times; see full concordance.

Currently finished developing super minimum Steamworks handler, that deal with Leaderboard & achievement (set only).
For Windows, i used MSVC 2010 Express.
For Mac, i used Qt 5.4 and inject it directly to desktop export template.
Gideros version that i used is 2015.08, which is currently the most stable.
SteamCore:enterFrame will process leaderboard's callback, when SteamCore:checkStatus reach "success" (or "notFound" or "failScoring") you can proceed to another sendScore. Default status is "" (empty string).
You don't need to call this on each frame, just call when dealing with sendScore.
Not forget to mention, the source code is in a mess, because i just try to manage it to work, and not too care about other things.
(No source code shared for Mac version, because it is a total mess... and include many of my own modification.
Also it limited to 100000 call / day.
@tkhnoman so did you compile it with MSVC in the end?
I don't know whether it is free to distribute them or not, but fast search indicate that it's okay.
Also i didn't bother with statically add library because i think it's just for steam anyway.
File zip updated, fixed crash on OSX when Steam is not running.
Updated OSX, bug fix on leader board scoring.
This is great news, a plugin for Steam! I'm sure many people will want to use this. Come on guys, let's see more Gideros games on Steam!
@tkhnoman, I wonder if it would be a good idea to host your source code for the plugin on Github? Then people can keep up to date.
Awesome work! +1 for Github repository if possible.
That is why, i don't think i will put this to github.
Maybe if you put it onto github someone else will be able to fix the problem?
Nah, i don't want to put broken code into github.

Our dog tag medical ID collection gives a nod to military styling, providing comfort, visibility, and good looks. Blue medical emblem is subtle yet widely recognized by emergency personnel.
product is excellent- make sure chain is long enough.
chain length information needs to be added- e.g how to measure.
I realized the need for a a medical alert dogtag. I saw your product in my doctor's office, wrote down the website and placed my order. I added expedited processing and shipping. It came quickly! I am very happy with my purchase!
The size is perfect- big enough to get all the necessary info on it but not too big to be comfortable. The engraving is clear. We got the 24inch chain which does not have a clasp but fits over the head easily. We wanted that as other chains we had broke at the clasp.
I received the product exactly the way I wanted it.
Bought this for my son to wear with a new school year starting. Great quality product, not heavy at all. Engraving is easy to read. Received a polishing cloth with purchase & pouch to carry it in for travel. Definitely will order again!!
Good quality, solid, engraving is very clear.
I had lost my Med I'd after emergency surgery March 14. I looked everywhere as did my husband. It had info that I needed to have that was stated as necessary bye a medical professional. Thank heaven you had it on file. I was so relieved. Thank you for not forgetting we who need your help. Thank you.
For my safety....wear every day....have pacemaker, am on blood thinner, and have artificial heart valve. Gives me and my wife peace of mind if I were to pass out or be in an accident and she couldn't inform emergency personnel about these facts to save my life.
I have been ordering these tags in either the Blue or Red emblem for about 10 years and the only reason I have had to replace them is my medication or allergy info had changed. I wear them all day long, shower with them, they got beat up when I had to carry bags of concrete on my shoulder and they are still readable and I never broke a chain.

Landowners File Suit Stating That Routing of Keystone XL Pipeline Needs to Start Over
Landowners fighting the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline submitted a 36-page brief on Monday, April 16 to the Nebraska Supreme Court asking that the Public Service Commission's (PSC) approval of the alternative route be nullified.
In addition to the Canadian company's failure to seek approval of routes other than its "preferred" route, TransCanada failed to complete a necessary step to secure approval of an alternative route for its multi-billion dollar pipeline.
Attorneys representing the landowners, David Domina and Brian Jorde, previously stated that TransCanada made a legal error by only asking for approval of its preferred route, and that the alternatives were only offered as to show that there were multiple options under consideration. No public hearings were conducted to consider them, and the company never filed a request for approval.
The recently filed legal brief added a new layer of potential complication for the foreign oil company – under Nebraska law, the governor must first deny a route before a company can submit its application to the PSC for approval.
"The governor must say 'no' first; then comes the PSC," Domina and Jorde argued. "TransCanada missed the jurisdictional first step."
The Domina Law Group attorneys chose their words carefully in arguing that the routing process for the $8 billion pipeline should be started over – a new delay that could take at least another year to complete – by quoting Shakespeare.
"'[T]hings sweet to taste prove in digestion sour,'" they said. ""TransCanada cannot keep what it did not seek. The indigestion set in for TransCanada immediately after the (Public Service Commission) decision of November 20."
TransCanada has 30 days to file its own legal brief in response. The Nebraska Supreme Court will start to hear oral arguments for and against the approval of this alternative route this fall, and will issue its ruling after that.

Steve Freeman of the Republican Socialist Alliance is standing as for the Executive of the Left Unity Party. Steve spoke, along with Bernadette McAliskey and Mary MacGregor (RCN) at the 4 Nations After the UK session at the Radical Independence Campaign conference in Glasgow on 23rd November. This is the statement he has produced for the election.
Sisters and brothers, comrades and friends, I am standing for one of the fifteen directly elected national council members to represent a republican socialist perspective for Left Unity. I am in the Southwark branch of Left Unity. I am an active trade unionist in UCU. I am also a member of the Republican Socialist Alliance and the International Socialist Network.
In September the Scottish referendum presents a major danger for the British ruling class. Hence the leaders of all three major parties are united in favour of a 'No' vote. Cameron and Co. are currently mobilising all their economic and political forces and threatening financial sanctions, ejection from the EU and flight of capital if Scotland does not vote the 'right' way.
SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE: SHAM OR GENUINE?
Eric Chester argues that support for Scottish self-determination, which has informed RCN policy on Scotland's independence, is not relevant and that a more pragmatic approach should be taken to decide whether or not to support independence. Eric also warns Socialists about the considerable dangers involved in supporting EU membership for Scotland.
Socialists have always been wary of the pitfalls of nationalism, even the nationalism of an oppressed people. Socialists have always emphasized the vital necessity of international working class solidarity, and yet nationalism presupposes a bond that cuts across class lines.
The issue is not one of the right of self-determination. There can be no doubt that the people of Scotland have the right to separate themselves from the United Kingdom. Indeed, even Westminster concedes that right, at least in theory. As socialists, we uphold the right of Scotland to become an independent state. The question is not whether a vote on Scottish independence should be binding, but whether we, as socialists, should advocate a 'yes' vote.

Oliver Twist4 1/2 Stars
By | October 24, 2005
Roman Polanski is a masterful director, and his 27th film, an adaptation of the Dickens' classic Oliver Twist, reaffirms his status as one of the greatest. Polanski has suffered miseries of Jobian proportions, from the death of his mother in a Nazi concentration camp, to his childhood years spent wandering through Poland and being victimized by German soldiers, to the brutal murder of his wife, Sharon Tate, to his exile from the United States. Whether Polanski uses his films as catharses subconsciously or as direct therapy, his anguish is often reflected in his work, and Oliver Twist is no exception. Indeed, as Roger Ebert writes: "Oliver is about 10 when he is taken into the world of Fagin and his young pickpockets, and Polanski was 10 in 1943, when his parents were removed by the Nazis from the Krakow ghetto and he was left on his own."
Poor Oliver (Barney Clark) is kicked about from one place to the next, shifted from the cold orphanage to the cruel Sowerberry household, finally ending up (after many days of traveling with proverbial bag-on-a-stick in tow) in the auspices of the deranged Fagin (Ben Kingsley), the disheveled ringleader of a band of young pickpockets and hoodlums. Oliver settles into a rough comfort there, but when a kind old bookseller, Mr. Brownlow (Edward Hardwicke), gives him a home, clean clothes and a bed to sleep on, the callous street-life loses its compromised appeal. So when Fagin, his rotten, crooked teeth jutting out and wispy, greasy hair bending in every which direction, asks Oliver, "This is a pleasant life, ain't it, my dear?," Oliver is not so sure anymore.
The film turns dark with the introduction of Bill Sykes (Jamie Foreman), the oldest and most volatile associate of Fagin. Sykes doesn't mess around with picking handkerchiefs out of stuffy old men's pockets – his equalizers are a shiny pistol and a mean pit bull. Sykes's grand and downright evil schemes are jolting in comparison to Fagin's half-crazed caressing of a rusty old jewelry box.
Polanski's film is dark, sad, and wonderfully crafted. Every frame seems to succinctly capture the visual spirit of the movie, and almost any still could have been used for the poster art.This picturesqueness, along with the fanciful music and black-and-white prints of London that open and close the film, give the impression that the movie is, as odd as it sounds, a cinematic novel. The sets and costumes magnificently capture the old-style English milieu. And the cast, with their bloated faces, crooked teeth, muttonchops, cravats and petticoats, are wonderful caricatures.
The setting of Old London is one of the scariest places that I can think of, a material nightmare embodied in fog, dark alleys, harlots, disease and filth. It is not the place of the Crystal Palace and Westminster Abbey, but of the Tower of London and people like Jack the Ripper, Jonathan Wild and Jack Sheppard. And so it is this London, the industrial horror, that is the setting for Roman Polanski's Oliver Twist. It is the cruel breeding ground for Oliver's troubles and the home of miscreants, street urchins, and murderers.
There is a great scene at the end of the film that strengthens the parallels between Oliver and Polanski. (For those of you who are not familiar with the ending of Oliver Twist, read no further.) Mr. Brownlow adopts Oliver, and Fagin is captured and sentenced to be hanged. Oliver wants to visit him before his sentence is carried out, so Mr. Brownlow takes him to the prison in the rain, they walk through the filthy corridors, being led by from one locked room to the next, until they get to Fagin, who is hysterical with grief. Oliver approaches him and says, "You were kind to me," and they embrace. Oliver leaves, and Fagin resumes his tortured wailing. And so, too, does Polanski attempt to make peace with his demons, wrestling with them through the medium of cinema in the dingiest, darkest cells. Not everything is sunshine and grief's smudgy presence remains, but within a moment's time, an eternal peace is established in the healing warmth of a long embrace.

Gorman Suprises in John Reif Run
This past Friday, the 19th annual John Reif Memorial Run gave members of the men's and women's cross country teams one last chance to earn spots on the roster for the Heptagonal Championships, which will take place this Friday at VanCortlandt Park in New York City. Freshman Dan Gorman, who joined the men's team as a walk-on at the beginning of the season, won the five-mile race on the Moakley Course in 27:00.5, a full 40 seconds ahead of the next finisher. His time was a minute faster than the time he ran at the season opener against Army in September. Junior Stephen Bakke (third, 27:56.9), sophomore Charles Riley (seventh, 28:13.3), junior Aaron Arlinghaus (eighth, 28:23.9), and senior Ross McGowan (10th, 28:32.1) rounded out the field for the Red. "Dan ran an absolutely amazing race, he dominated the field," said distance coach Robert Johnson. "The most impressive thing was how well he was able to run on such a wet, sloppy course." Although Gorman was not the favorite to win the spot to Heps, it became obvious with a mile and a half left that he would win the race. By that point, he had already distanced himself considerably from the rest of his competitors. Gorman's teammates stood on the final hill screaming "stormin' Gorman" as he flew past them, not even hearing their cheer. "He is really coming on strong at the end of the season – he has even improved considerably from a week ago. He stepped it up that extra level and came through," Johnson said. A week ago at the Penn State Invitational, Bakke, Riley and McGowan all out-ran Gorman. Earlier in the season, working too hard in practice had drained Gorman and hindered improvement. After backing off in practice, his times began to fall. Johnson noted Gorman's focus and strong work ethic in the progress he has made. The men's five-kilometer race was won by senior Gordan Hall, a mid-distance runner for the track team in 16:34.5. Freshman Eric Ryan, who will compete in Heps, was second in 16:35.4, a personal best. "I wanted to give Eric one more race before Heps to sharpen up," Johnson said. Senior Ruth Morgan led the way for the women, crossing the line in 19:31.6, a personal best for her on the Moakley Course. Morgan's time was 86 seconds faster than her finish at September's dual meet against Army. Morgan's first-place finish was just the beginning of the Red's domination over visitors Syracuse, Temple and Ithaca College, as the Red filled the first 10 places. Junior Erin Linehan was second in 19:43.9, followed by junior Megs DiDario in third (20:00.8), sophomore Alicia Korol in fourth (20:02.9) and freshman Rachel Kirsch in fifth (20:19.8). Junior Caroline Hill and freshman Molly O'Toole rounded out the top-7, finishing in 20:21.7 and 20:34.4, respectively. Now that the Red has finalized its roster for Heps, the men and women will undergo their last few days of preparation before Friday, with workouts tapering off until then. The men will send in a relatively experienced squad, with five of the top-7 men having already competed at Heps in previous years. The women will come in with less experience but not without talent. A solid mix of freshman and more experienced upperclassmen have run well throughout the season, and will attempt to do so through Friday. Archived article by Erin Garry Sun Staff Writer
Torre Endures As Yankees Struggle
It seems so much like dejà vu. In early September 2003, after losing a game against Pedro Martinez and the rival Boston Red Sox, George Steinbrenner told the New York Post that all of the Yankee coaches' jobs would be in jeopardy if the Bombers didn't win a World Series. It was official – Joe Torre and Brian Cashman were on the hot seat. Six weeks passed. Joe Torre and the Yankees advanced to the World Series thanks to an Aaron Boone walk-off home run against the Red Sox. Yankee nation rejoiced. The Boss got caught up in the emotion. World Series MVP Josh Beckett then scattered five hits over nine innings as the Marlins defeated the Yankees in Game 6 of the 2003 World Series. Torre was supposed to be skating on thin ice. But it was all just a façade. Torre came back despite bench coach Don Zimmer leaving to take an advising position with Tampa Bay after claiming he was disrespected by the Boss. Batting coach Rick Downs was fired. Steinbrenner cited poor offense against the Marlins as the reason behind the move. Then there was last season. The payroll got bigger and the pressure grew heavier as the Yankee faithful were introduced to the game's best all-around player, Alex Rodriguez. The end of the season was bittersweet, as New York lost in Game 7 of the ALCS to Derek Lowe and the Red Sox. That series would go on to make Curt Schilling's bloody sock famous. Regardless, while a Boston fan will call it the greatest comeback of all time, any baseball fan will call it the worst choke in baseball history. Yankee fans gagged as Ivy Leaguer Theo Epstein became the youngest general manager to ever win a World Series. Steinbrenner's conclusion: The year's demise wasn't Torre's fault. He had the offense. He just didn't have the pitching. Then 2005 rolled around. What else can be said? Torre had everything – a $200 million payroll, Randy Johnson, the game's top free-agent pitcher, Carl Pavano, and an All-Star at every position. The team staggered out of the gate, posting an 11-19 record – the team's worst start since 1966. The team chased Boston for most of the year in hopes of winning its eighth consecutive American League East title, eventually sealing the deal by defeating the Red Sox at Fenway Park in the second-to-last game of the regular season. The Yankee players celebrated by rushing the mound as every television camera focused on Torre, who had started to cry. In front of millions, with tears running down his face, all he could say was, "It's been hard. It's been so hard." Just as before, the Yankee nation got caught up in Joe's softer side. Less than a week later, the Yanks ran into a buzz-saw – the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The Angels mercilessly ended the Yankee season. Pitching coach Mel Stottlemeyer quit because of Steinbrenner. Torre apparently told the media that he too was thinking about quitting. Yankee fans couldn't believe it. Baseball fans couldn't understand the sappy madness. There was a meeting regarding Joe's future. There was a rumor that it was going to be an ugly, drawn out, curse-like-a-sailor meeting – but that apparently didn't materialize. The meeting took 45 minutes. The kiss-and-make-up scene which took place was even more appalling. "We didn't use the word love, but it was pretty warm," Torre said to the public. "It was something more than cordial." Yankee fans cheered and fell in love with Torre all over again. Baseball fans shook their heads. The cuteness was almost repulsive. So Joe Torre will return once again – retooled and ready to go for his 11th consecutive season as manager of the Yankees. He will get what he wants – a center fielder and more bullpen help, most likely of which will come in the form of Johnny Damon and left-handed Orioles All-Star B.J. Ryan. Again, the team will look like it should, at least on paper, go undefeated. Torre will smile and reflect on the fact that another World Series victory will allow him to fit a championship ring on every finger of his right hand. What he has forgotten is that he hasn't won a ring since 2000. Steinbrenner will reassure himself that 2006 will be the year that the Yankees win again, as they probably should. Yet, he neglected the fact that Boston won a World Series last year with new manager Terry Francona at the helm. He also probably overlooked the fact that this year the Chicago White Sox currently hold a two-game advantage in the World Series under the tutelage of first-year manager, Ozzie Guillen. However, Torre is his man – the $13.1 million man over the next two seasons. And yet, even Torre isn't sure that he should be calling the shots for Big George. When asked about working with Steinbrenner over the last 10 years in an interview with Bob Costas, Torre responded, "If these last five years were my first five years, I don't know if I'd have been here my last five years." Next year the same thing will happen. Torre's team will be a year older and that much slower, and there will subsequently be tension. There will probably even be some coach's head on a platter for Steinbrenner. But Yankee fans shouldn't worry. Torre will probably be back again – because it's not his fault. It's never Joe's fault. Tim Kuhls is a Sun Staff Writer. That's Kuhls, Baby will appear every other Tuesday this semester. Archived article by Tim Kuhls


Much more than an Interior Design book for the discerning collector, this author delves into the life and times of Mr. Stacey. A gentleman, reserved by nature who did not need to promote himself or his interior design business. Referrals came one after another, often finding himself designing multiple homes for many clients.
Diana Vreeland in the Entrance Hall of her Park Avenue residence designed by George Stacey.
Vreeland was not only a client, as editor, she arranged photo shoots for Vogue Magazine in many of the homes he designed. The fact that Stacey was so welcomed into her and other wealthy client's circle of friends spoke for his character and the loyalty of his clientele. Billy Baldwin dubbed him "The King of Decorators" and Statesman Averill Harriman gave Stacey the nickname "Minister of the interior".
Stacey became the master at mixing fine antiques, coromandel screens, and gilt mirrors with urn lamps, wicker chairs and basketry (he was an antique dealer for some years) Using saturated colors sublimely, symmetry and shimmer, it was indeed "Cafe Society Chic". Designers who have cited his influence include, Mario Buatta , Billy Baldwin, Michael Taylor, Stephen Sills, Tom Scheerer and Nick Olsen among them.
How many designers can transform a former chicken coop into this luxurious yet relaxed abode. ( he was the first to mix it up in this manner) Crystal chandelier, luxurious fabrics and antiques live comfortably together with a laid brick floor!
You will want to add this to your library and can purchase George Stacey and the Creation of American Chic at Amazon It is a fascinating story of an icon in American design.

That book sounds amazing, indeed:) Have a beautiful start to the week, lovely.
You always have the best recommendations!!
Thanks Karen, you keep educating us on some finer things in life.
Good morning Karena! Thank you for informing me of the trouble the feed has been giving you; I have been having ups and downs with my blog roll for weeks/months now! Sometimes I have to manually enter my layout page to jump start my roll and get it so that I see new posts!
This is a wonderful book filled with much inspiration. I love to see what are the elements that such designers put together to create a sort of "poetry" (I see things from the perspective of poetry!) and voilà: MAGIC.
I will see where I can subscribe via email to your blog. THANK YOU!
I read this book through TWICE after I bought it - it's entertaining, beautiful, and educational.
Sounds like a great book and what an impressive "resume" of design clientele and incredible talent.
Hi Karena, Yes, he was fabulous! I think I need this book. Hopefully, we are going to see a return to deeply complex design--both high and low.
The chicken coop room and the pearls off to the side on MS.VEERLAND caught my attention!
Looks like a great book. Wonderful hostess gift as well!
What a joy to see these images and hear more about his talent. A book worth collecting.
This looks like a wonderful book, Karena!
I really enjoy your Blog... will have to get this book.
This looks like a book I need to add to my library. Thank you for featuring this wonderful designer.
Thank you for bringing this book to my attention. It sounds wonderful....there are so many great offerings out there right now it is hard to choose!!


It is crazy to think that another year has flown by. Looking back, it has been an awesome year! I have photographed 25 couples start their lives together and almost 50 portrait sessions. This marks the first year I have had a commercial location. I pushed myself to limits of productivity I never thought I could handle alone. I feel so blessed that I get to photograph so many awesome people. I have also made many new connections and friends this year. 2013 was the first full year we have lived in Jefferson City. I feel like I have finally adjusted and I can normally get places in town without using my navigation (pathetic, right?). The best part is the capital city finally feels like our home.
Nick and I started our video services and filmed our first handful of weddings this year. We have also taken on several commercial projects. One of which was the Best of the Road Competition for Rand McNally and the City of Jefferson City. Pretty cool when we won! Nick is currently working on a website and other materials to offer his video and filming services to the public next year. He will be taking a select number of weddings and commercial projects for 2014. I am amazed at how awesome he is at video and photography; I guess his teacher is pretty excellent ;) He started shooting with me this year, and I constantly found myself liking his shots over mine.
I launched a new website this year and started re-branding my business. It was time for a fresh look as my last website was over 2 years old. I will be adding new content on a regular basis and have added in some new categories which include information for photographers, brides, and seniors. I am excited to share information with all our you about shooting and my business. I am happy with the amount of work I have had published in magazines and websites/blogs. It is always exciting to see your work loved by others.
The personal highlights of our year include celebrating our 2 year wedding anniversary! We also started small projects on our home; hoping that 2014 will be the year for our big remodel. Nick started his MBA this year and will graduate with his Masters in 2015. I feel that we have made great improvements getting organized personally and with our businesses. That feels so good! I have taken on more personal projects this year than any years past. These projects are refreshing and keep me inspired. I look forward to shooting more on my own time and perfecting this craft.
Thank you for your continued support and best wishes to all of you in 2014. Happy New Year! Cheers!
What a year of accomplishments for you! Happy New Year to you and Nick!
Congrats on a great year! I can't wait to see what the options are for your classes. I would LOVE to take one!

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., secured his spot next to Hillary Clinton in the Twitter clap back hall of fame Wednesday when he — again — mocked the physique of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
McCain first landed himself in proverbial hot water with the dictator last week when he called Kim a "crazy fat kid" in conversation with MSNBC host Greta Van Susteren. McCain, while talking about how to stop Pyongyang after weeks of it ramping up aggression and reports that it's preparing for its sixth nuclear test, said China must get involved, Business Insider reported. China is one of North Korea's biggest allies.
"China is the one, the only one, that can control Kim Jong Un, this crazy fat kid that's running North Korea," said McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee and current chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. "They're the ones. They could stop North Korea's economy in a week."

The remarks went viral, and Pyongyang became enraged, issuing a statement saying the senator's insult was "blasphemy," according to UPI. McCain, however, doubled down, on Wednesday tweeting "What, did they want me to call him a crazy skinny kid?"
McCain, at 80, is nearly 50 years older than Kim, who is thought to be 33. But the senator's interview wasn't the first time Kim's weight has made headlines. A spy service revealed last July that Kim gained about 90 pounds after taking the reins after his father's 2011 death.
"He keeps a close tab on any potential threats to his power, including the military, and he is obsessed with ensuring his personal safety," South Korean politician Lee Cheol-woo told the Guardian at the time. "Because of his habitual binge eating and drinking, he is likely to develop adult [lifestyle] diseases."

In an YouGov/HPE survey of 404 development and IT professionals that examined motivations and barriers to DevOps adoption, most respondents said potential cost savings was more important than speed of delivery. In fact, speed was number three, behind both cost and quality.
The top barrier to DevOps, on the other hand, was security, followed by the project management process, and then team capability and delivery strategy. However, the barriers cited varied depending on how far along the organization was in its DevOps journey.
Find out why respondents cited these motivations and barriers, and how and why the challenges cited varied with the stage of DevOps development. Download the research report, and learn how to adopt the right strategy for DevOps success.

Joël Marc Abati (Fort-de-France, Martinik, 25. travnja 1970.) umirovljeni je francuski rukometaš i bivši reprezentativac. Abati je igrao ili na poziciji desnog vanjskog ili na poziciji desnog krila, a trenutni klub mu je francuski Montpellier HB.

Klupsku karijeru započinje u francuskom Saint-Michelu iz kojeg odlazi nakon godinu dana. Tada se seli u Levallois SC gdje također boravi godinu dana. Tada prelazi u USM Gagny, gdje provodi 3 godine prije odlaska u US Créteil, s kojim je 1997. osvojio Francuski kup. Nakon Francuske, Abati odlazi u Njemačku, u SC Magdeburg. U Magdeburgu provodi punih 10 godina tijekom kojih je skupio 302 nastupa i postigao 1394 pogotka. S Magdebrugom je osvojio i najviše titula.

Sljedeće godine osvaja Ligu prvaka, a posljednja osvojena titula mu je ona iz 2007. kada je ponovo osvojio EHF-ov kup.

Nakon uspješne karijere u Magdeburgu, Abati se vraća u Francusku, u Montpellier HB, gdje je igrao do 2009. godine, kada se povukao iz aktivnog rukometa.

Reprezentativni debi imao je 1995. protiv Bjelorusije. Za reprezentaciju je u 14 godina skupio 204 nastupa i postigao je 588 pogodaka. Nosio je broj 18.

Još 2 zlatne medalje ima sa svjetskog prvenstva u Francuskoj 2001. i dvije s europskog prvenstva u Švicarskoj 2006. i Austriji 2010. a ima i 3 bronce, jednu s europskog prvenstva u Norveškoj 2008. i dvije sa svjetskih prvenstava u Portugalu 2003. i Tunisu 2005. godine.

Lizzy Borden – "My Midnight Things" Album Review
After an 11 year absence, the man has returned. Lizzy Borden offers us My Midnight Things; and not a moment too soon mind you as we've waited patiently in the wings nearby.
From Metal Blade: "While showcasing a diverse range of sounds, tones and moods, it is unmistakably the work of the man who released a string of classic albums in the 1980s and two more in the 00s, but with a new fire burning at the heart of the record, it is one that he has lovingly crafted for those who scream along with every word at his shows."
Leading off the album is the title track, immediately grabbing the fans of old; destined to be a killer show-opener. Without going into excruciating detail, just about all of the Lizzy nuances we have all come to know and love about the man are there….including the trademark layered vocals. The man himself had this to say about tracking vocals:
"It's time consuming and tedious, but the result gives you a more multi-dimensional feel than you would get with a single vocal. I kept it varied and engaging enough so that listeners will want to devour the whole album in one sitting, without you hearing me repeat myself."
With My Midnight Things, Lizzy takes on the theme of Love. Fear not though devoted fans. It's love in all of its forms, good and bad. Remember the obsession of "Love Is a Crime?" We find that also in the classic sounding "Obsessed With You;" a track that is musically very reminiscent of the days of Visual Lies.
"Long May They Haunt Us" is truly a unique track for Lizzy Borden. In an odd sort of way, it has a bit a 50s/60s vibe in the composition. It's like one of those songs The Misfits covered on their 1950 album but did it in their own style. Along with the uplifting "Run Away with Me," "Long May They Haunt Us" really is one of the catchiest songs Lizzy has ever done. "Run Away With Me" is a stellar track and already one of my personal favorites.
"The Perfect Poison" goes back and forth between a Visual Lies and Appointment With Death feel, searing with power in the bridge and chorus – perhaps the strongest he's been in a while.
"We Belong To The Shadows" is a killer uplifting closer, with the obligatory key change or two and containing a bit of a modern sound adopted by the likes of The Killers. Now bear in mind with some of these songs, that while Lizzy indeed is treading on new ground, he very much has one solid foot in the sound that we've come to love.
My Midnight Things definitely sounds a bit different in some regard but likely that is due to the different approach in composition. This time around Lizzy allowed the lyrics to dictate and then built the music around the vibe created by them. The album is pretty much perfectly balanced; even a piano-based reprise version of the title track is included. My Midnight Things is a nod to the past and a view toward the future, an exploration into the light and the dark sides of love; the sides of us we know and those which we might otherwise prefer not to recognize. He packages all of this in an album that's powerful, catchy and diverse with every track standing equally on its own.
Long time Lizzy fans will rejoice. New and old fans will be able to look back one day fondly with this album having been an important part of their upbringing. My Midnight Things is completely worth the wait. Remember the majesty of Master Of Disguise? It's back in the form of My Midnight Things.
Welcome back, Lizzy. We missed you.
Be sure to check out the variety of special editions of My Midnight Things available. Release date is June 15.
Please note that the digital Bandcamp download also features "Silent Night," "Long May They Haunt Us (reprise)" and "Waiting In The Wings (2018)"

Germany, Argentina advance in games marred by refereeing errors
June 28, 2010	07:06 am JST	 June 28, 2010 | 07:38 am JST
© Wire reports
airiRin
The referees ruins the World Cup. Coulibaly, Larrionda, Rosetti, who's next?
Ponderous on the ball,slower in imagination what a joke. Rooney has not got it at international tournament level,he is Emile Heskey's natural successor.As usual there is some sort of excuse(the disallowed goal) for them all to use as a crutch,when the truth of the matter is their footballing abilities look amateurish when compared to most of the other "great" footballing nations. Back to basics boys,look around the country for boys with winners mental strengths then teach them to play football.
DamoSuzuki
Somewhere over the rainbow.......................................
stormqueen
England let us all down again,regardless of thet error they were spanked..
Cosuke
A bad call by the ref or not, the English are a 3rd - 4th tier soccer power in the world when up against the likes of Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Italy, etc. Their skill level is not there to compete with the big boys. Even though the EPL is the best league in Europe, it is dominated by foreign players. At the end of the day, my friend's English jersey will still have that one lone star reading 66, while my German jersey will have three and possibly a fourth.
AlfGarnett
Cosuke, for a start son, the word is football. England rd or 4th rate. Nah, unlucky, cheated against by bias officials. Italy didn`t even get out of its bleeding group, what are they and the FRenchies 6th rate according to your amazing knowledge.
mikihouse
England team does not know how to defend. I think they need to go back to the basics and learn team play.
daisan
Why use Rooney if he's clearly not 100% fit? If there's someone to blame that's Capello for sure for calling such lame players like James and not being able to build an strong team having very good players to choose from.
Foreigners presence is not to blame, unless you want a league with no so good players filling in, they have to get there because they are better and deserve it not because some silly rule.
nylex4
From what I have read, the percentage of foreign players in the english premier league is one of the highest among European clubs. If you took most of these foreign players out, the english teams would struggle to get past the first rounds of any european club competition such is the lack of depth in the English game... The EPL owners are only interested in TV viewing ratings so the money is huge to attract the best players. Until the English football association starts concentrating on the football and not the money, England as a team are going no where...
Rooney's great scoring goals against Hull, West Brom, Stoke, Watford, but when it comes to world class defences and fellow English players to supply him with good passes, well......................
I have always said it, Carlos Tevez is who Rooney should want to be.
I hope all the millionaire football players and 'rich' fans leaving the World Cup get a glimpse at the abject poverty a lot of the people are living in in South Africa. I hope that can lead to life changing attitudes.
Referree error aside . . .Germany was handling the ball faster than the English team could think.
Bottom line: England lacked defense and Germany was almost always one step ahead.
Sepp Blatter is increasingly getting to be an embarrassment to FIFA. First his continuing reluctance to adopt modern technology that other sports such as tennis now thrive with, and secondly for his handling of the hotels for the world cup, mismanaged by a company owned by his nephew...
I watched the first half only and from what I could see, to my regret, Germany was much better, they very quickly organised their defence and their attacks, they had very powerful attacks and dangerous and speedy counterattacks, when the English attacked, all the Germans returned to defend. From the first minutes Germany overpowered England. Rooney was sometimes invisible and sometimes visibly detrimenting presence for the English team. It is a pity that the English goal was not seen by the referee but it does not change the dark outlook for English team. I do not understand how Rooney could be called a footbal star. He was zero in the first half.
ihavearrived
I don't know why everyone is upset. the far better team won which is good for football. the Germany team were sensational with great teamwork. the England players didn't work together at all when attacking. they all tried to do it by themselves. the disallowed goal didn't change the result at all. i am looking forward to going to the pub and listen to the English cry into their beers. hahaha
As I figured, the German team dominated. The bad call was DEFINITELY a bad call, and would have helped the English if the goal was counted, but I don't think it would have helped them enough to win.
If the goal had counted it would have been 2 all. It would have been a very different game! England would not have pushed all their men up and had been open to the counter.
How come the "world's game" still hasn't figured out that replay will help cut down on glaring officiating mistakes? There have been so many that have had major impact on the outcome of games that you'd think FIFA would be looking into using it right now. Maybe us Americans don't appreciate the sport like we should, but, we never stop trying to improve our own major sports, which all use replay in some form to help the officials get the calls correct. Think it's time for FIFA to come into the 21st century.
my2sense
Germany put in its young at the end and were still dancing in front of the net... Gentlemen as they left it at 4 with clear shots in the last 10 mins.... why humiliate, ne? FIFA is a disgrace with the dodgy refs...
AlfGarnett Your posting sums England's whole World Cup campaign. England were totally outclassed by Germany, they had zero defense. Soccer is an international game these days, and this is the world cup. The attitudes of English supporters and bosses is stuck in the 70's, and in the meantime the rest of the world is enjoying the game. "We invented the game, it's football not soccer, we are the best team, we were robbed by the officials" ... we hear the same thing every world cup. Fact is, Europe has all the money, the professional teams there get all the world's best players, and have the most exciting football competitions. But on the world stage, things have changed. It's no longer just Europe versus Central/South America. We now have teams like USA, Australia, Japan and Korea are now consistent appearing in the world cup. English fans need to face reality, England suck, times have changed. Your posting reeks of arrogance and sulkiness.
There are certainly some officials who will be trying to explain what's happened during this World Cup... and the tournament isn't even over yet!!! I wouldn't be surprised if some of the officials who've punted calls are being sent home early. Being tied at 2-all will certainly change your game play from being down by one.
If the goal HAD been given I doubt the results would be different. England were outplayed the entire game. They know this, the mature fans know this. Those who are crying about it need to sit down and rewatch the game. England has amazing players but too many egos on the pitch. Get over yourselves lads and earn your money.
Without a doubt, Germany played the better game and deserved the win. Now, are they good enough to beat Argentina and go on to win the cup? I would say that there is only a 50-50 chance of that.
DentShop
Too much EPL in England's style unfortunately.
England only worry about what they are doing on the ball, Lampard and Gerrard too concerned about scoring rather than helping Terry. The Germans knew this and organised themselves well off the ball. 3 of 4 goals were end to end, which was quite funny to see against England of all teams.
Every player in the England squad plays in England. Is this a problem? Perhaps instead of worrying about all the foreigners in the EPL, England should be sending its players to Italy, Germany and Turkey. Get them out of the media and into a system that gives them a chance to play European football.
Wanderlust, Mocheake:
Football is a game of chance, and that's why it's so popular. It has that party aspect to it that creates a feeling of hysteria amongst the fans.
Fifa doesn't want to use video refs, for the same reason it doesn't want to clamp down on the diving for penalties, or make a better system for advancement into the 2nd round. It's a well know fact that one win, one draw and one loss is often enough to get through to the best 16, and if two teams are tied on goal difference, their fate can even be decided by drawing lots if they can't be separated. Imagine the excitement the day that happens.
The world cup isn't a sport, it's a festival. Fifa makes a lot of money out of it, if they got rid of the chance factor it would become too predictable. Introducing cameras would be a big mistake.
cracaphat
Just call the German goal quits for the '66 one.England didn&'t deserve to win anyway.Were so devoid of ideas and just premiere league stars,but international scrubs.
HumbledCat
That 2nd Tevez goal was amazing. Best of the tournament so far, IMO.
REALLY looking forward to Germany/Argentina. Should be a good one.
The german Goalie knew the ball was over the line and played on anyway. How disgraceful!
For a World Game, the sportsmanship qualities are rubbish! Lying, cheating, and so much diving!
Time for a revamp of all the rules!
hoserfella
maxpower, I woulda played on too. What do u expect the goalie to do? It's not his call.
Lunchbox, I think you'd be singing a different tune if your team went out on such a horrible decision. It's not 1950, and there is too much at stake to miss such an obvious goal
Thats my point hoserfella. Its kinda sad we expect him to play on, rather than be good sportsman.
The german Goalie knew the ball was over the line and played on anyway.
At such moment people do not do things with reason, it is primal reaction and reflexes.
Noone should get hung up on the ghost goal. It was unfortunate but it would have made no difference. England were abysmal. They were really, really bad. Some of the German goals were like taking candy from a baby. It would be have been a great injustice if the English side made to the last eight.
Back to the drawing board for England. FA really has to restructure and re-organize the team. I am not sure what the problem is. Looking at the players individually, one would think they would make an excellent team but apparently it is not the case. Players were a disgrace throughout the tournament. I do not believe it is Capello's fault too much. Players looked as if they were not interested in the World Cup.
Or maybe we have to accept the fact that the English teams are performing at the club level but at the national level England is not World Class.
I am not sure if he saw it. He was down as the ball bounced from behind the line. Even if he did see it and played on, linesman should have caught it. Noone's fault by the linesman's.

I can't believe Germany v Argentina is a quarterfinal match. Watching the Germs was the only time I actually thought this game of lifeless hands was interesting to watch.
so sad England could not be a match for Germany, the team I dislike but which I should admit plays very well. English gentlemen, you are too much gentlemen to fight in the world cup.

England limped into the round-of-16 with half a pulse and Germany put them out of their misery. Lampard's disallowed goal in turn for their '66 non-goal which was allowed; an eye for an eye. Germany played beautifully and more than deserved the win, refree error or not. Germany vs. Argentina is going to be awesome!
zurcronium
this is beckhams english team now, all flash and no real substance. Beckham sucked wind in his last WC, clearly the Brits as a whole were the same. The last german goal, it was men against boys. Ozil just sprinted past the defenders and passed it over so anyone could have scored.
Germany could have scored more goals than four but saved their stars for the next match.
Goodbye pansies. Time to rebuild from the ground up if possible. Could be sumo replay for england, no real talent left in the country to maintain the sport.
Clearly replays are sorely needed in this game, I was a neutral fan last nite, I think both teams wud have started the 2nd half much different if it was 2-2, that said I think Germany wud have won by a goal or 2 as they were playing SO much better as a team, England was playing like a team that just came together for the first time maybe a few days prior, they were out classed from the start
ironchef
Awesome! GO Germany! i knew the English hooligans would be poor sports and start rioting. Yappari. Get a life, there's more than just the World Cup. poor sports.

i don't think you can say that going tied 2-2 into half time would not have made a difference. it may have made a difference psychologically in the second half.
that being said, germany looked like it played much better than england.
I asked my friend if he saw the second English goal. He said no, he'd been to busy refereeing.

England was not all together for whatever reasons from the beginning when they played Japan and lost.
I love the lego videos of England vs Algeria, U.S.A, and Germany. Check out the Youtube videos.
Please use the symbol for "and" instead of the word and the parentheses.

blame it on the octopus
If the goal counted, the game would have swung in England's favour for sure...
But with the English defence having such a poor game, I'm sure Germany would've regained the lead sooner rather then later. Seeing Upson get worked by Klose made me cry. :(
skipbeat: "England was not all together for whatever reasons from the beginning when they played Japan and lost."
Ummm... when was that? I remember a game where England won 2-1 (thanks to Tulio).
BTTSimon
Well i agree with you that England didnt have its chips all together, but are you saying that we lost to Japan in May?
Yes, its sad to see England play the way it did and throughout the Group stage we strugled and just made it through. Germany where the better side and showed the world that we are nolonger ranked 8th!!
Not sure what is next for England.... Get a new manager? Nope! Dont mater if we get another as the players dont seem to work well together. Yets hope they can work it out before the start of the Euro games.

Sorry this is going to be a long post, but it has to be to cover everything.
The phantom "Goal" - a difficult one to surmise because if it had been given, the momentum would have been with England. Germany would have been rocking after conceding two in two minutes and that short period before half time would have been all England. Having said that anyone who thinks Germany didn't deserve to win clearly doesn't understand football.
The players - far easier to surmise: Woeful. James was culpable for the third, but in fairness to him there was a complete shambles in front of him. Terry & Upson looked as if they had never met each other before let alone played together. Johnson might well have not played. Cole tried hard but was given no support.
Gerrard. How he keeps escaping criticism is beyond me. One of the worst England captains I can remember. Always looking for the "Hollywood" passes and shots. Didn't do the simple things right. Should never be England captain again. Milner was nothing better than OK, but his time will come. Barry - Oh dear. Lead-footed, gave the ball away constantly, didn't provide the screen he was supposed to, Let Ozil drift away from him time after time....have I missed anything? Lampard - in one small irony, this was Lampard's best game in what what was England's worst performance.
Defoe just ran around like a headless chicken (as opposed to Klose who chased with intent) and Rooney.....Wayne Rooney. If he put half as much effort into England's games as he did for his Nike commercial he might have been different. As it was he looked disinterested, unfit, lethargic and generally un-Rooneylike.
The future. If this is to be watershed moment for English football then the defeat to Germany will have been a good thing. The "Golden generation" should be moved on. There are good (note the word good, not great or world class) prospects in England. Players Jack Rodwell from Everton, Joe Hart, Jack Wilshere & Kieran Gibbs from Arsenal are coming through. Milner is a dead cert England captain in the future, Adam Johnson is surely the answer to the Imbalance on the left, And England won the European Youth Championship this year. There is talent there, but there needs to be a system in place to let that talent prosper ie teams need to play at least three home grown players in Premier League games, or something akin to that.
The Coach - Fabio will probably go unless he gets the green light to do things completely his way. He has the FA over a barrel: if they want to sack him then they would have to pay out the remainder of his contract - roughly 15 million pounds, give or take; If they want him to stay they will have to give him carte blanche.
But the glaring fact is that it is the players who go over the white line. This "Golden generation" has played for Eriksson, McLaren and Capello - and have done nothing. That should make people realise that although it is partly the managers fault - the blame goes squarely on the players......
The English Media - .....and of course some blame for the media in England, particularly the red tops. Stirring up memories of the War in a disgraceful attempt to whip up some kind of nationalist hysteria. The tabloids build these players up, so the majority of "fans", ie the kind of fans who get their info only from reading the papers as opposed to watching any games, get way over inflated expectations.
So, the end of England's world cup campaign. At least you bet your house that these players will be firing in the Premier League come August. Maybe club is more important than country after all.

To all those who think it wouldn't have made a difference if that goal had been correctly awarded...
At 2-1 down we had an attacking free kick and threw everybody forward. We lost possession, Germany countered and it was 3-1. Moments later it was 4-1. Do you think that, had the game been level at 2-2, England would have thrown so many men forward for a free kick?
We didn't just lose because of the refereeing but to suggest it didn't make a difference to the final result is either naieve at best.
Beckham sucked wind in his last WC, clearly the Brits as a whole were the same.
It's the ENGLISH, not "the Brits".
Please get over it. you guys lost so why do you keep thinking that it would've made a difference. Germany were so much better it was a laugh to watch the English play. I couldn't believe the last goal when everyone could see what was going to happen except for the English players walking down and not covering their men.
Nessie, who are you taking shots at? I think that one crossed the line.
For some reason, over the 30 plus years I've played and watched football, I always felt that 2-2 was a better scoreline than 1-2. And whenever the score was 2-2 we'd have more chance of getting a positive result than when the score was 1-2. However ihavearrived has just corrected me on this theory. Apparently being 2-2 doesn't make a difference to a scoreline. Thanks for that.
stealth_one
Germany woulda won on penalties anyway if England had magically escaped with a draw.
Heda Madness - never try to question the authority or wisdom of a North American football/soccer fan. Their experience of watching the sport for 3 or 4 weeks every 4 years is enough to pontificate.
ALL refereeing errors could be easily avoided provided a perfect system is applied in football matches.

Yes, perhaps between teams of equal ability which was CLEARLY not the case here...
They were clearly better than England. Yet the score should have been 2-2 with the Germans conceding two goals within 60 seconds. I really didn't think it would only be the English who could understand what an impact that that would have.
We were woeful yesterday, Germany played very well. Yet at half time the score should have been level and the balance would have moved in England's favour. In the second we hit the bar with a freekick and were on the ascendency until an utterly rubbish decision to throw everyone forward at a freekick and we fell apart. But we were very much in the game at that point. And as I said before if we'd gone in at 2-2 it would have been a vastly different second half. Which doesn't mean that Germany wouldn't have walked away with the game however it certainly doesn't mean they would have won it with the ease that they did. Something that a number of posters seem to have difficulty understanding.
MakusuSun
Go Germany.
Ah_so
Could the game have gone differently from 2-2? Possibly, but unlikely. England did not play wide and stuck obsessively to a slow-paced short-ball game and seemed afraid to use pace or attack on the break. The Germans used pace to totally destroy the England defence.
I think that if they had been given the point, then Germany wouldve come out really strong in the final period of the game. it was lucky for England Germany wasn't trying too hard because they already had the game wrapped up.
Oh well, for all of Germany's efforts and the help from the ref, it will all be for nowt, as Argentina will probably destroy Germany.
AsaFan
But only "probably" :-). GO GERMANY!!!!!!

Of course. The balls are made in Germany. Makes all the difference.
The balls were developed in England(!) and made in China using materials from China, Taiwan, and India. Oh, and Lampard has been a fan of the ball since its introduction. Oops. Next excuse please.
Rooney, who I admire for his determination and spirit, seemed to have a penchant for taking dives in the tournament. This only made his sorry performance even more disappointing. Anybody else notice that?
Stupid mistake by these idiot FIFA referees! The goal made by Argentina against Mexico was so off side that it is not even funny! The other goal that should have been counted for England against Germany was also another testimony of how unreliable these stupid FIFA guys are. Time to use the HAWK EYE technology!
idicemic
Klose (the first German player to score in the match) said that before the game they discussed England. Player for player, he said, England has more talent. He even went on to state that they possess more talent than a Premier League squad.
Six minutes into the game, he added, they realized (ok...realised) they could vanquish England. It would've been nice to have technology to allow the overlooked goal. The refereeing errors have been a little debilitating, or even deflating.
Refereeing errors aside, it'd be nice to see England focus squarely on it's deficiencies, and not spend another 40 years lamenting over a completely non-decisive goal.
The better side won. end of story. please get over it and watch the great teams play out to find out who really is the best in the world. I am glad that Japan is now in the top 10 teams in the world as they are still in it. go japan.
jonswan4
It was Go Japan; now Go home Japan. It's rotten to go out on penalties.
The refereeing in this tournament has been so diabolical that FIFA has to bring in technology that has made tennis, cricket and American football more enjoyable, exciting and, crucially, fair. In football there is too much cheating that goes unpunished, and where games are won and lost by biased/incompetent refereeing. Regarding the England game, it would certainly have made a huge difference to go into half time 2-2 but the Germans outclassed England. I might mention that at world cups since 1970 England have played well 4 or 5 times, whereas the Germans have been to the finals or semis about 9 times. The gulf in class is staggering, and the fact that England continue to serve up the equivalent of footballing diarrhoea every 4 years without pause to reflect leaves me wondering why I bother following their progress.
"Klose was offfside for the first goal by a mile" is a bit reaching... No ref error here.
I was however surprised that the goalie stepped back, hesitating actually, when he gave up three steps to Klose. It was an easily stoppable goal (offside or not, which it wasn't), but by the time Klose got around the defender (one reason why there was no call for offside), the goalie realised his mistake only to change his mind. You can see it plainly. Then he attempted to close the angles and get to the ball. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePnPJc3rGV4
For the sake of fairness, let's all hope more FIFA Folly befalls the Germany-Argentina game. Whoever survives that match truly deserves the finals.
July 2, 2010	03:30 am JST
I think nobody noticed or commented, but the terrible referee mistakes on Germany X England, and then, in Argentin X Mexico, are clearly FIFA manipulations. Otherwise, how come they could have been allowed? Joseph Blatter apologized later, but that was just pathetic, and doesn't correct those absurd mistakes. I don't want to see either Germany or Argentin being champions...unfortunately, because of those referee mistakes.
I can not wait to see what other stupid mistakes these FIFA refs do in the next matches! FIFA is a joke! And a BAD joke at that.
DenDon
what a spanking! cripes, Argentina got their ____ served to them.
July 5, 2010	04:22 pm JST
...and no errors. Perhaps it's fair to say that better teams simply advance...referee error or not.

Constantin Brancusi Day
Constantin Brancusi Day is an observance holiday that's observed on February 19th in Romania and celebrates the life of a Romanian sculptor, photographer, and painter who is considered a major influence on modernism art. His art emphasized clean geometrical lines and these were carefully balanced with the symbolic allusions often found in representational art.
Many of his influences emerge from Romanian folk art that can be traced from both the Dionysian and Byzantine traditions. Although this day isn't a public holiday, people who love art will often take the time to appreciate his work by attending exhibitions or museums.
A Brief Biography Of Constantin Brancusi
Constantin Brancusi was born on February 19, 1876, in Hobitza, Romania. At an early age, he showed artistic ability as he would often engage in folk crafts such as woodcarving, while he was helping his peasant parents with tending their flock of sheep.
He would end up leaving the home at the age of 9 due to the constant bullying of his father and brother, however, and would end up working in the nearest large town.
Brancusi would work a variety of jobs and at one of those jobs, he would handcraft a violin using materials that were found around the workplace. This impressed an industrialist who would then enroll Brancusi in the Craiova School of Arts and Crafts. It's at this school that Brancusi would pursue his love for woodworking.
In 1898, he would graduate the school with honors. He would then enroll in the Bucharest School of Fine Arts and would study sculpture. Over the course of his life, Brancusi would create over 1,200 photographs and 215 sculptures and leave an artistic legacy that's unmatched to this day.
Observing Constantin Brancusi Day
On this day, people all over Romania, and all over the world, visit museums and art exhibits to see the work of this incredible artist. Some people who can't travel to a museum or exhibit will check out his work in collections found in the Museum of Modern Art, The Guggenheim, The Met Museum, or other places that exhibit his work.

Whilst this winter's storms may have played havoc on the roads, thanks to the mild temperatures many motorists have been spared the usual battery problems associated with the season.
However, even batteries that have kept going throughout the winter months may still be due for replacement. Every car battery has an optimum lifespan, and this can be reduced by all manner of factors.
Choosing the optimum battery to begin with will ensure that the best possible performance is provided by this essential component. Now, with the new Manbat Battery Finder, finding the right battery for any car, motorcycle or LCV just got a whole lot easier.
The Manbat Battery Finder is a powerful lookup tool that allows you to search for the best battery for almost any vehicle using either the registration number, VIN or make and model details. Based on the vehicle details you have provided, the Battery Finder will show you a selection of the best possible batteries from our range of top manufacturers – Varta, Lucas and Numax.
The lookup caters not only for cars, vans and motorcycles using traditional batteries, but also has a constantly updated database for newer vehicles with start-stop technology.
Whatever the vehicle, you are sure to find the best battery quickly and easily.
If you have the registration number handy, all you need to do is type it in the box and our powerful database will find a selection of the best batteries for you. Click on any of the results and you will be able to access all the essential information including 20hr capacity, starting Power (CCA) and estimated fitment time.
Scroll down the page, and you will find a full technical information sheet which can be printed for your convenience. In addition, there is also a downloadable Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) available for every battery.
With access to one of the UK's largest and most up to date vehicle databases, our results are as comprehensive and accurate as possible.
If you don't have access to the registration number for the vehicle, then you can use the VIN/Chassis Number lookup. Just under the main box, you will find an option to switch to this search. Simply enter the relevant number and hit search, and you will get the results just as with the registration lookup.
Alongside the previously described lookups, you can also search for a battery with our powerful Make/Model Lookup. To begin, click on 'By Make/Model' below the main field. A new view will then open that allows you to input the vehicle type and details of make and model. The intelligent system is programmed to limit each result to those that are relevant for the given make or model, so that a minimum of effort is required to complete the details.
Manbat is one of the UK's largest battery distributors with branches nationwide. We specialise in offering the very best vehicle batteries from our suppliers including top manufacturers such as Varta, Lucas and Numax. We pride ourselves in providing 'Expert Local Service on a Truly National Basis'. To find out more or contact a member of the team now, contact us online or give us a call on 01743 218500.

Parents need facts, not just advice, about raising their children. Too bad those facts are difficult to find in the ever-growing mountain of parenting books. And blogs. And message boards, and podcasts, and mothers-in-law, and every relative who's ever had a child. There's plenty of information out there. It's just hard for parents to tell what to believe.
That's why I wrote "Brain Rules for Baby: How to Raise a Smart and Happy Child from Zero to Five." It's based on science that most parents (unless they subscribe to scientific journals) don't get a chance to see. The great thing about science is that it takes no sides -- and no prisoners. Once you know which research to trust, the big picture emerges and myths fade away. To gain my trust, research must first have been published in the refereed literature and then successfully replicated.
Scientists certainly don't know everything about the brain. But what we do know gives parents their best chance at raising smart, happy children.
More videos detail key insights from the book, from how to deal with temper tantrums to the benefits of breast-feeding.
Nature and nurture may be split 50-50. But there's a great deal parents can do with the influence they have.

Longtime Hudson Valley auction house closing; new brewery moves in
By Tribune Media Services
TOWN OF CHESTER -- William and Andrea Jenack won't be able to party at work after May 15, but they're saving their last blast for May 5 at their Town of Chester store.
That's when the husband and wife, who said every auction is like a celebration with friends, will hold the final auction for their 31-year auction, antiques and bric-a-brac business, William J. Jenack Estate Appraisers & Auctioneers. Come October, a new brewery, Tin Barn Brewing, will replace the auction house, located at 62 Kings Highway Bypass since 2001.
The future brewery's co-owners, father and daughter Dale and Lauren Van Pamelen, will take over the space in mid-May after the Jenacks sell their remaining stock.
Brewery to replace auction house in Chester https://t.co/4z4GeU1qOC pic.twitter.com/326r1ScVqC
— Times Herald-Record (@recordonline) April 25, 2019
"It's like a party every three weeks" on auction days, Andrea Jenack said. "It's like a meeting place."
Chester Supervisor Robert Valentine said the town will miss the Jenacks' business. The 12,500-square-foot store near the Sugar Loaf Fire Engine & Hose Co. employs William, 73, Andrea, 71, and six workers.
"They run a great operation," Valentine said. "It's a real loss for the community, but I'm sure the Jenacks are at a point where it's time to relax."
Now, Valentine hopes Tin Barn Brewing will contribute to nearby Sugar Loaf's rejuvenation by generating traffic to the hamlet full of artisans and artists.
Tin Barn Brewing will be a part of what town leaders "are trying to do in Sugar Loaf with an economic rebuild in a hamlet that's been suffering from small businesses closing over the last 10 to 15 years," Valentine said.
William Jenack, of Westbury, moved to Orange County decades ago to teach American History for the Monroe-Woodbury school district. Andrea Jenack, a Binghamton native, got her start as a TWA flight attendant.
Auctions enchanted the couple as early 20-somethings, after Andrea had a skiing accident that left her with two hip-high casts for broken legs. William took Andrea to auctions to cheer her up.
The auction business "became like a bug," William said. "Its bite infects you with interest."
The couple began doing auctions with Jimmy Sturr Sr. in the late '70s, before the Jenacks opened their business in 1988, and built their current location 18 years ago.
The Van Pamelens took a different path to Chester. Dale Van Pamelen, 61, of Oyster Bay, started and ran the large New York Dog Spa and Hotel for 20 years on West 25th St. in Manhattan until 2016.
Since selling the doggie day care, boarding, grooming and veterinary business, Dale Van Pamelen has wanted to give his daughter Lauren, 32, an outlet for her brewing passion. That love led Lauren, an optician, to attend the American Brewers Guild's school at Drop-In Brewing Co. in Middlebury, Vt.
The father and daughter eyed Chester and Warwick because of their beauty, tourism potential and Lauren's home in Warwick. After hatching the Tin Barn Brewing name, "it seemed serendipitous" when a metal, barn-like building came on the market on the edge of Sugar Loaf, Dale Van Pamelen said.
The Van Pamelens, who have municipal project approvals, want an open floor plan, barn décor, a 1,000-square-foot eating area, an 800-square-foot kitchen, and a 6,500-square-foot tasting room with beer and New York-made wine, cider and spirits. The brewery will cost about $2.7 million, including $1 million-plus for the Jenacks' property.
The menu will likely include shareable food, with fresh Hudson Valley ingredients such as poutine with cheese curds and duck fat gravy, short ribs, charcuterie boards and wood-fired Neapolitan pizza. And the brewery will have a canning line.
"I've owned restaurants before the dog hotel, and success is making a place where people come and say, 'I feel good here. I want to stay,' " Dale Van Pamelen said. "This will be a place where people of all ages can come, and we'll cater to families and people with dogs."

Beer boom: New York counties with the most breweries, ranked
From Long Island to Buffalo, the number of breweries is surging across New York.
